Kat's Notebook

Continuing from where I left off, I have just realized that we only covered the basic tourist attraction sites in Beijing. We weren’t able to go to Fragrant Hills, Old Summer Palace, Happy Valley, Beijing Zoo, etc. Well they were originally part of our plan but because we didn’t realize how big the sites were [...]

I brought my vivitar ultra wide slim camera with me to China. I’m new to the “lomography” hobby. But I don’t think my camera is considered lomo; it’s just a toy cam. Anyway I acquired the camera last year and although I was inspired and trigger-happy on the first few months, I became unenthusiastic after [...]

Continuing my chronicle of my recent China trip, if Shanghai has few tourist attraction spots, Beijing has so many and so big that 3-4 days won’t be enough to see them all. It’s a good thing that we were in Beijing for 6 days! We were able to go to the famous tourist spots at [...]

My recent trip to China was my first trip ever to the country. I was glad that my sister was able to accompany us. I consider her somewhat a native there since she has stayed for almost 3 years. Instead of going with local tour groups which I read in the internet is one of [...]

In my recent China trip, we stayed 2 days at Shanghai before going to Beijing. We were greeted by a cold and dreary weather. It drizzled almost the whole day. The hotel we stayed though was really nice. The bad side here was it’s an almost 45minute ride in the subway to get to the [...]

I went to China last week to visit my sister and tour Shanghai and Beijing. Of all the airlines Cebu Pacific Air had the cheapest fare at roughly 14k PHP/pax. I wanted to go to Beijing directly but the airline only stops at Shanghai. So my sister decided to meet us in Shanghai and tour [...]

Hey guys! I just got back from a long vacation in China. I was there for 8 days plus the 2 days of plane traveling. As I’ve mentioned in my previous post that I went with my 2nd sister to visit my eldest sister there. And a good surprise was my mom was able to [...]

What better way to spend the Holy Week by traveling! I’ll be going on a 10-day vacation to China with my sister this Friday. We’ll be meeting up with my other sister who works there. We’ll be visiting Shanghai and Beijing. I’m so excited but I haven’t packed yet! I’m worried about my clothes because [...]

I just got back from a 4-day vacation in Hong Kong. I did all the planning and it was a good thing that I prepared our itinerary and means to get to our destination because if not, we would be wasting time looking for places. As expected, we got lost but the HK people are [...]
